| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: a very poorly exposed, 7 m thick interval that consists of laminated?, very fine-grained sandstone containing radially oriented or massive large growths of colonial reef corals | |
| Environment: | transition zone/lower shoreface |
| Geology comments: note on paleoenvironment...the author's suggest that the "massive large growths of colonial reef corals...grew on the top and/or sides of a shoal caused by the underlying lobe of the braid delta". However, "positive determination of whether or not the reef corals actually constructed a reef cannot be ascertained." | |
